“…[34] Concordant with the presented GUS indices results, the field and laboratory studies demonstrated the leaching of diuron, hexazinone and tebuthiuron to deep within the soil profile as well as their presence in groundwater. [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Although low levels of these substances have been presented, special attention should be given to areas of high vulnerability to pesticide contamination.…”

This study reports the influence of sugar cane vinasse on the persistence, sorption and leaching potential of diuron (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea), hexazinone (3-cyclohexyl-6-(dimethylamino)-1-methyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione) and tebuthiuron (1-(5-tert-butyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-1,3-dimethylurea) in both a clay and sandy soil from a tropical area of Brazil. The experiments were conducted out under controlled laboratory conditions. The addition of sugarcane vinasse to soil influenced the persistence and sorption of the herbicides in both the studied clay and sandy soils, with a considerable decrease in the diuron DT₅₀ values in clay soil. The Ground Water Ubiquity Score (GUS) Index classifies the herbicides as leachers in both soils and treatments, with the exception of diuron, which is classified as a non-leacher in clay soil-vinasse and as a transient herbicide in sandy soil. These results suggest that special attention should be given to areas such as those where the sandy soil was collected in this study, which is a recharge area of the Guarani Aquifer and is likely to experience groundwater contamination due to the high leaching potential of the applied pesticides.

“…Vermicompost has also been evaluated to diminish the availability of pesticide residues in soils, decreasing the potential risk of leaching to the groundwater (Fernández-Bayo et al 2008). However, vermicompost is rarely used for retaining organic pollutants in aqueous medium as well as in liquid effluents.…”

The use of vermicompost was expanded as natural adsorbent for cationic dyes retention. The adsorption profiles in batch and flow modes for crystal violet and methylene blue on vermicompost material were evaluated. In batch mode, a retention index higher than 97% was obtained for both compounds, while in flow condition, 40 g of dried adsorbent material were enough to remove 100 mg of crystal violet or methylene blue at column flow rates of 5 and 20 mL min −1 . Adsorption isotherms showed adsorptive maximum capacities for vermicompost of 0.78 and 5.47 mg g −1 , respectively, which were compatible with the literature. Due to this good efficiency capacity, incineration steps can be considered as acceptable disposal procedures for enriched vermicompost. From these characteristics, economical and environmental advantages of the proposed material for the evaluated cationic dyes retention were evidenced.

“…In these ways, they found that the amendment of soils with vermicomposts from wastes from the winery and alcohol industries reduced the persistence of two pesticides (diuron and imidacloprid) in soils, although this effect depended on the type of pesticide and soil (Fernández-Bayo et al 2009). Their results suggested that the application of vermicomposts reduced the availability of diuron in soils (Fernández-Bayo et al 2008). They did not find any correlation between effects of vermicomposts and enzyme activity, which suggests that these effects were mediated more by physicochemical, and not biological, properties of vermicomposts, as repeated by Delgado- Moreno and Peña (2007).…”
